I don’t care what anyone says (or what the “official” numbers claim), food prices are up 2-3x since the start of the pandemic. I know Starbucks (which no one actually needs) is not the best exemplar, but as another data point pre-Covid I could often walk out of the supermarket with enough food for two people for a week for $100.

Now, roughly that same amount of money is only enough to provide two-ish days of sustenance. The inflation numbers are basically fake.

Pilfer

I don’t really care that illegals immigrants “want a better life.”

If the law finds me in a bank vault pilfering $10 million they’re gonna toss my ass in federal prison even if I say, “Well, I really wanted $10 million.”

Why do idiot leftists think “wanting a better life” is any sort of reason not to send them back to whatever blighted craphole they hailed from?

Gitting

Using terrible Git this morning out of bitter necessity.

It’s too bad we got cursed with such horrid design messes such as Git, Kubernetes, Systemd, and the like when we could’ve had better. And in many cases, already did. My industry really fails at learning anything from the past and designing anything broadly useful.

I hate Git so much. Such worthless and difficult-to-grasp conventions and practices.

Fact Set

I know I’ve written about it before, but it was quite the achievement that the Fat Acceptance nutty buddies managed to convince a substantial percentage of the population that what they defined as “impossible” bodies were some fantastically unachievable, dangerous goal, though those were the same bodies that 90% of women had just a generation or two prior.

In fact, those “impossible” bodies are just the default factory settings.

That’s right. Academia is about to get mega-turbo-fucked by the consequences of their own lack of standards and their imperiousness.

And they do not even realize it, and cannot imagine it happening. But it will.
